Hannah Camilleri found her activism after posting about being sexually harassed at a gig. She quickly found many responses from other girls who had experienced similar harassment at these events and sprang into action. Hannah and her friends founded Girls Against in 2015 to open up the discussion between fans, bands, and organizers to put an end to harassment at gigs. Since its inception, Girls Against has gotten support from bands, been featured in publications, and continue their blog covering feminist ideas and the music world.
“Because we’re all teenagers, we understand and fear the same things [the people messaging us] do.”
